[RESOLVED] first and last day of the month

[jrolands]

I'm making a calendar and I've run into a problem concerning February.
I've made a script that can get me the first and last date of a month X months into the past/future, but for some reason it skips right past February.

	$month = 1;
	$time = strtotime($month." month");
	$first_last = date('Ym01', $time)." AND ".date('Ymt', $time);
	echo $first_last;

If I set $month to 1 I should get 1 month into the future, but for some reason it shows March both av value 1 and 2, when it should show February if the value is 1 and March if the value is 2. This of course depending of the current month.
This also happens if a go a whole year forward in time.

Anyone got some bright ideas?

Try setting the start date to a day in the middle of the month, like:

$time = strtotime('2009-12-15');
for ($month = 0; $month < 12; $month++) {
    $time = strtotime('+1 month', $time); 
    $first_last = date('Ym01', $time) . " AND " . date('Ymt', $time);
    echo $first_last . '<br />'; 
}

Incidentally, it's because "January 30" plus one month is "February 30"....
